Children around the world are dying because Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Marco Rubio illegally froze programs that distribute lifesaving aid (and saved us money). Marco Rubio lied about this, but Nick Kristof has pictures and stories. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Ban congressional stock and crypto trading now. The American people overwhelmingly support it. Time to get it done.

There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities: Lawless failed states, and authoritarian states.

This outrageous violation of the work of Congressman Nadler’s District Office and frightful mistreatment of his staff cannot stand. We are demanding a hearing on why this happened and who is responsible. They must be held accountable.

It's not very interesting to post excavation and engineering work. Additionally, such videos carry risks, as they may reveal geolocation and details about fortifications. I rarely share them. Please consider reposting and donating. Donation Link: www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

Darren Beattie - the State Dept official who dismantled the US government's main center for fighting Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world - turns out to have personal ties to the Russian elite. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Attys for Jordin Melgar Salmeron, who was removed to El Salvador 5/7 in violation of an order of the US Court of Appeals for the 2d Circuit, asked that court last night to order govt to “actively facilitate” his return & to appoint a special master ... /1 www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This should be a much bigger story. Murder has *plunged* across the country—so much so that the U.S. may see the lowest murder rate *ever recorded.* That this is even possible after the 2020 murder spike is truly amazing.

Mahmoud Khalil was never charged with a crime. But Trump’s ICE locked him up 1,000 miles from his wife and newborn son. This is not America. This is not justice. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

"Republican-appointed district judges ruled against Trump 72 percent of the time. That number is remarkably close to the 80 percent rate of losses before Democratic-appointed judges." It's not the judges, rather it's the POTUS who is radical. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

Made possible by automated trains!

This is how newspapers should react when the government asks them to carry its water.

🔥 Corporate backlash is hitting hard. Big-name companies like McDonald’s, Oracle, Morgan Stanley, and Microsoft are pulling their legal business from firms that cut backroom deals with the Trump administration. Why? Because these firms caved under political pressure—and it’s costing them, big time.

Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act did not have a lawful basis. Pleased that Cato and Brennan could work together on this important brief with the help of @ilyasomin.bsky.social.

House Republicans are considering a new judicial requirement that would allow Trump to skirt court orders for a short time. Legal experts warn it would cause chaos in the courts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"You lose something if you read a cleaned up version of Huckleberry Finn." Legal Director of @thefireorg.bsky.social @wcreeley.bsky.social told Dylan about book banning from both sides on aisle. sxm.app.link/YoungAmerican

A photo of my daughters Robyn & Rachel taken June 2nd, 2011 at the City of Charlottesville's Onesty Family Aquatic Center, not far from where we lived. June 24th, this year, marks six years since Robyn was killed in New York City doing bicycle messenger work.

Today in “Article III cannot solve what is ultimately a total Article I constitutional crisis.” The judicial branch has no enforcement mechanism to stop total lawless authoritarianism. The only one is impeachment & removal. Courts/judges can slow down the fascists, but only Congress can stop them

Your tariffs wrecked the economy and broke the law. That’s anti-American.

WSJ: At least 11 major companies are shifting work away from law firms that caved and settled with the Trump administration, or are instead directing more business to firms that were targeted but refused to cut deals t.co/9NyH8rAtQX

"'Abusive and unjust'....The planned condemnation may be motivated by a desire to prevent the church from opening a small homeless shelter on part of its land."

What do presidential emergency powers have to do with tariffs and the current chaos we’re facing? The answer lies in Congress’s ability to take back some of the power it has delegated to the president. We explain: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-congre...

Noticing this across the board with various agencies, and remembering my days in Iraq. Those police and soldiers who wore masks were considered cowards and suspects in extrajudicial action. Cant help but believe those doing it now in the US are complicit in crimes.

Connecticut just adopted a MASSIVE pro-housing law that: - Ends costly parking mandates (1st state east of the Rockies to do so) - Incentives transit oriented development & fair share - Allows middle housing in commercial zones - Allows manufactured homes everywhere Go @desegregatect.bsky.social!

#50501Movement is a peaceful movement dedicated to positive change through nonviolent action. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence or advocation of violence. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings #PeoplesMovement #June14

The Connecticut legislature just passed a bill eliminating all residential parking requirements. Local YIMBYs tell me governor signature is pretty much guaranteed. ctmirror.org/2025/05/30/h...

It's do or die for SB 79, the bill that would legalize multifamily housing around rail and BRT stops across the state. The vote could be held as early as tomorrow morning. Californians: call your state senator tomorrow morning to help us get out of the senate! cayimby.org/legislation/...

Short answer: Nothing

Trump administration is stonewalling return of a wrongly deported man in a second Maryland federal court case, separate from the Abrego Garcia case.

The temptation to always frame things as merely approaching but never actually crossing a red line has inured us to the reality that they are already defying court orders on a scale and as official policy to a degree unprecedented in American history.

Jewish Americans suffer another horrific violent antisemitic attack. Sending solidarity & support to the victims & to everyone grappling with fear in the face of more utterly indefensible violence. There is no justification for hate violence and terror. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u...

This is terrorism. Totally unacceptable, regardless of your feelings about Israel’s attacks on civilians in Gaza.
